Things to check
- Offside Front coil spring broken (2.4.C.1a) — failed on 2018-03-12, but promptly rectified.
- Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements (5.2.3 (e)) — advisory on 2016-03-22, indicating past wear issues.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,767 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No recurring major failures or advisories across multiple MOT tests.
- Recent MOT pass (Mar 2026) with no outstanding dangerous defects or major advisories.
- Valid MOT until March 2027, offering peace of mind for the next year.
